Now being in other Churches will force you to decide before God what you believe based upon your own search, your own study of the Bible, your own reliance upon the Holy Spirit.

Too many seem to decide for themselves what to believe and end up believing that contraception, abortion and sodomy are all okay with Christ: disregarding the ethos that ALL denominations of Christianity believed (until 1930). Sorry but you can't have your sin and your salvation too.

Corinthians 11:19: For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

The truth doesn’t come out by suppressing differences. In fact it comes out by them flourishing so that thereby that which God approves He confirms.

The problem is that as far as the RCC is from much truth as revealed in the Bible many other Churches are further even yet. When we finally get it together over the full truth that is revealed in God’s Holy Word then He will be able to confirm us as He has never done before. That will be great.

Right now, though, the RCC is in great fault as it can cause it’s people to miss out in salvation. Salvation comes only through the person of Jesus Christ. It cannot come by being a member of a church and keeping it’s practices. This is not made clear to Catholics. Many are still on the tread mill of works and do not have the peace of their salvation. They are hoping to get to heaven someday based on being good Catholics and doing enough works. This is very, very sad. At least many Evangelical Churches know how to lead their flock into salvation through Christ, His finished work alone.
